My C6 also got close to 30 mpg on highway in 6th gear at 65 mph in 6th gear.
Please point out any of the big three that have overstated MPG, as I know of none.

Corvettes get much higher mileage ON THE HIGHWAY but less in the city.
I wonder if anyone with a Vette will take a bet.. Let's meet up in Manhattan on a 95 degree summer day and fill up the car in the early morning and then drive around Manhattan with AC set to 68 degrees until you run out of fuel. If you get the advertised CITY mpg, I pay you $2000. I did own C3's, C4's, C5's and C6's... and none of them would get advertised city mpg if you are all day in city stop and go traffic with the AC on. Yes, on the highway, I could get 30 mpg but they sucked in the city.
